Big Three Networks Cover Internet Cats Pics, Lit Trivia, Canadian Clumsiness, But Not Gosnell Trial

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Another week has gone by and the Big Three Networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, again gave scant notice to the “house of horrors” that is the Kermit Gosnell abortion trial.

Zakaria: Hey, Those Two Tsarnaev Boys Mean We Need Better Integration Of Muslims

Posted on by William Teach

More importantly, the media narrative that Boston was just some minor event with no links to any wider Muslim extremist movement continues, as witnessed in Fareed Zakaria’s op-ed. As we learn more about the brothers Tsarnaev, we are inclined to ask larger questions about their apparent descent into terror. What does it tell us about […]

 

Reliable Sources: CNN’s Kurtz Faults CNN’s, NBC’s Boston Bombing Coverage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On his Sunday broadcast, CNN’s Howard Kurtz was critical of both CNN’s and the rest of the media’s coverage of the quickly moving story of the apprehension of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects on Friday. “What is the rush to put this information that has not been confirmed on the air?” Kurtz asked of his […]

 

The Power of Being “Offended” in Order to Shut Down Political Debate

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Has society really become quite thin-skinned, or is acting “offended” a new tactic that is being used to shut down legitimate political debate? Progressives are increasingly claiming to be offended whenever those on the right disagree with their left-wing positions. It doesn’t matter what the issue is; the left will divert a legitimate political debate […]

 

Boston Bombing “Suspects” Sound Very Much Like Liberals In Their Motivations

Posted on by William Teach

Let’s see: both liberals and Islamists became radicalized. Both engage in or attempt to engage in violence (though Islamists typically try and kill lots of people more often for their beliefs). Both like to Blame The United States. And… (Washington Post) The 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has told interrogators that the American […]

 

Resident Admits Tsarnaev’s Hate For US is Typical in Cambridge

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What one resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts had to say about the atmosphere in that liberal area of the state was quite telling in revealing how essentially un-American leftism truly is. This resident practically admitted that the in that college town, everyone expresses the same basic hate for America that dead terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev so often […]

 

Michael Bloomberg On The Boston Bombing: We Have To Change How We Interpret The Constitution

Posted on by John Hawkins

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is exactly the kind of man C.S. Lewis was referring to when he wrote, “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty […]

 

MSNBC’s Harris-Perry: Hey, The Boston Bombers Being Muslim Is Not Relevant

Posted on by William Teach

Yes, the same lady who thinks your kids aren’t yours, and should be fully handed over to The State. (Mediaite) Making the point that the Tsarnaev brothers’ Muslim faith at the moment bears little relevance to the investigation into the brothers’ decision to attack the Boston Marathon last week, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry observed that […]

 

The Corruption of Big Spending Democrats

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Buried in a recent Politico story is a line that reveals the utter corruption of “money in politics.” But not that of money spent electioneering, but that spent by government from the assumed bottomless pockets of the American taxpayer. It is a corruption that has destroyed the Constitution, laid waste the rule of law, perverted […]

 

A fractured party is a losing party

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

Why is it that when Democrats govern like Socialist dictators they win, but when Republicans govern like Democrats they lose? The sad part is that both parties govern in such a similar capacity that it is hard to tell them apart these days. Both parties have an insatiable appetite for spending; and fiscal discipline in […]

Obama’s Budget Would Use Tax $$ to Fund Lobbyists Pushing Tax Hikes

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Obama took office and one of his biggest promises was that lobbyists would never gain a foothold in his Administration? Well, now that he doesn’t have to stand for election again he’s doing his level best to give lobbyists one of their biggest perks yet. He’s trying to make it legal to give […]

 

Spying on the Progressives

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Republicans have been so busy attacking each other lately that little attention is being paid to the antics of the left. The far left activists, including the Occupy movement and Anonymous, have been quite busy. The Occupiers are helping fast food workers: strike: for higher wages and a union. Their targets include Wendy’s and Burger King in […]

 

AP: Gosnell’s Gruesome Assistants ‘Only Following Orders’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In shades of the Nuremberg Trials, an April 12 article from the Associated Press seems to excuse away the actions of the assistants of accused criminal abortionist Kermit Gosnell as “only following orders.” For the AP, Maryclaire Dale begins her piece with that very sentiment saying, “They say they were just doing what the boss […]

 

Leftist Hypocrites on Campaign Donations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the left’s biggest rallying cries against what they claim are the evils of the right was its opposition to the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that essentially opened up our political process to unlimited donations to political causes. The left claimed allowing more money into politics was evil and says the case must […]

 

The CA Bill That Would Shut Down Every Small Restaurant

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The State of California has one of the worst proposals of any legislature in the country this year with a new bill that would force every restaurant and food service business in the state to commission an expensive “risk assessment” test for every menu item, a test that could cost thousands of dollars for every […]

 

MSNBC Says “Everyone Has The Right To Free Healthcare, Education, Decent Housing, Quality Food” And….A Tree That Grows Money?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Do liberals even understand what the word “right” means? Judging by the latest promo from Melissa-Harris Perry at MSNBC, the answer to that question is “no.” Here’s what she said, “Americans will always want some level of inequality because it’s a representation of a meritocracy. People who work hard and sacrifice and save their money […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Cass Sunsetein, one of President Obama’s leading left-wing, university eggheads, has penned an interesting piece in New Republic explaining how the nanny state is really a very important and useful aspect of today’s modern Democrat scheme. It’s for your own good, don’t you know? Launching his April 8 piece, “Why Paternalism Is Your Friend,” Sunstein […]

 

Roll Call: Obama Has ‘Given Up’ On Those Darn Republicans

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an interesting break from reality, Roll Call posits that Obama has now “given up” on Republicans as partners for helping him get some “governing done” in Washington DC. Of course, the Capitol Hill newspaper fails to show when it was that Obama ever consider the GOP to be his governing partner in the first […]

 

America’s Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, Stands Alone Against Unions And Outsiders in Recall Effort

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Only three weeks after re-election in 2012, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was hit with a recall effort.

Quit Laughing, Hillary Really is Just LIke Margaret Thatcher

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With the passing of Margaret Thatcher, one of the greatest, most powerful women in recent political history, the American Old Media establishment is all abuzz about… Hillary Clinton. To their minds, talk of the powerful and brilliant Thatcher naturally brings to mind the wife of one of their favorite presidents and Hillary, as far as […]

 

Obama’s Political Action Group Loses Complaint Against Website Address Owner

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last year, President Obama’s re-election campaign reworked its operations renaming it Organizing for Action in an effort to leverage the President’s monumental email address list to urge supporters to back the President’s policies. But OFA made a tiny mistake: it didn’t register all the various website addresses for its new effort. Worse, when others jumped […]

 

SICK! Liberals Have Street Party To Celebrate Margaret Thatcher’s Death

Posted on by John Hawkins

Other than Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher was the single finest leader that Europe has produced in the last century. She pumped up Britain’s slumping economy, repaired Britain’s relationship with America, saved the Falklands from an Argentinian invasion and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ronald Reagan as he fought successfully to break the Soviet Union. In other words, […]

 

Two Quick Examples of U.S. Government Lies in Labels

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Political fancy talk is always fascinating. By this I mean, the essential lies that government tells by re-naming something to make it sound benign or even beneficial when it is really just another anti-American, liberty-killing government initiative, or giving it a harsh label in order to destroy whatever activity that government wants destroyed. Here I […]
